Great news for NEM and Malasya students and Universities!!!
The Ministry of Education announced in a press release posted on Twitter Thursday, that alongside the new consortium of six universities, it has launched a blockchain-based system called e-Scroll for the issuance and verification of university degrees.
Developed by a team from the International Islamic University (IIUM), the MoE said the system stores the certificate data on the NEM blockchain and provides an online verification "in a few seconds" when a QR code printed on the degree certificate is scanned.

Hi all, I want to announce I'm applying for the elections as a council member. Telegram it's ok to have a conversation but because the time difference and many people here it's easy to lose the track. I'll prefer to answer questions through the forum so everybody can access easily. Hope everybody shows respect to all candidates. Thanks all. https://forum.nem.io/t/trikar-for-nem-foundation-council/20518

NEM has been included as a founding member of the Verified Token Framework and Blockchain Token Association. After an intro from Solo Energy to one of their STO partners, NEM Ventures, NEM Europe and Tech Bureau have been collaborating behind the scenes on how to adopt the chain agnostic approach to Security Tokens. The devs are targetting v1 of Public Catapult release for this and should make us the first to support the approach natively. It is essentially a base set of functional requirements for compliant STOs and we can build on as needed with further working groups and in collaboration with the BTA.
It places NEM alongside some big names in the space and as the first non Eth implementation of the approach. There will be further PR over the coming days but this is the first of it.
